1/24/02
Spoke to a Debra in our billing office and she confirmed that she has issued the request to refund the amount, but QWEST has a new policy in place that does not allow for a refund if a customer owes us money on another account. This slows down the process, because she has to confirm that no monies are owed. I have asked her to give me an idea as to when this will be completed and the check released. As soon as I know you will know.
